Shock Proof Shock Resisting on Old Dials.

Do you have any? Post them here. Were they really resistant to shock?

Screw driver has an insulated handle. My test volunteer should be ok.

Yep! Watch still works. I may need another volunteer.

Here are my two shock proof / resisting watches. I know there’s a lot of G-Shocks out there, but do any of your older watches have any shock protection markings on the dial?

I was of course kidding about the electrical nonsense. I wonder how much of a beating these older watches could take compared to today’s examples? The Sky-Rocket was used by pilots.

No longer in my possession, but this one has that text.

@Duracuir1 ,

The movement in your Skyrocket is definitely shock resistant. The term only replies to the balance staff. A “shockproof” watch might sustain serious damage, but the balance staff could very well survive, undamaged. The arrow points at the anti-shock system on the balance cock in the Rolex cal. 59 (FHF 30) movement in your Skyrocket.

@Duracuir1 , you have some nice watches 😎

While not marked shockproof, I’ll guess that the braille watches needed a boost from the folks in the robustmentization department

Can’t see the name of that watch without thinking this
